From the 1st of January 2023, the German VFR AIP will become free of charge. (Source) Since Skydemon continues to sell the subscription for one year, how will this affect if I would extend my subscription? Do customers with a DFS subscription get a refund for the remaining days after begin 2023, or does Skydemon continue selling the DFS VFR charts as a premium add-on?

As I commented in an email to a colleague of yours, I find myself now in limbo. My DFS subscription runs out end of August & don’t know what the situation is re. 2023 onwards. A monthly subscription would be useful until facts have been clarified.

Man, that's 43 GBP for a year. How much do you expect to save, 20 bucks? Is that 0,1h of flying, or less?

If you read my other comments you would see that I also have to subscribe to EasyVFR in order to get up to date data in my DynonHDX system. I asked the SkyDemon team at Aero 2022 about support for this possibility, but there was no interest.

So for me the possibility of saving on paying for VFR charts (twice) for Germany is relevant.

I fly a microlight and the whole idea of flying a small plane is to have fun and keep the costs down.

Every little I save helps.

p.s. I love SkyDemon - it’s far more intuitive than EasyVFR, but if I have to choose one or the other due to financial reasons, I’ll have to let SD go.
